    As a grieving mother who has lost two pregnancies and has one healthy child, I know how hard it can be to return to work after the loss of a baby. It is a devastating loss that strikes deep down to the core of our souls. Grieving parents need the time to process their grief, seek outside support and psychiatric help, if need be, without the fear that they will be terminated from their employment for taking the time to recover.

    Barry Kluger is a leader as well as a passionate father. I am convinced he will succeed in making this legislation a reality. I wish him great success.

    I agree that the death of a child should be part of this unpaid leave. The employee will not be productive after this tragic event and it is just as necessary to take time off as the other reasons already listed.

    As someone that has lost 2 babies in late-term miscarriages and my husband, I implore you to pass this act.
